Capo 2

  G                                  D                 G
I wish that I could tell you what it means to know her love
    C                                               G
But I can't find the words to say how beautiful she was
    G
And I just can't describe the way you'd feel right in her arms
C              D              G
Resting in her love, safe and warm


Chorus:
                   G       C        G  
I guess you had to be there to understand
    G       G/F#     Em  D               A      D
The kind of love I'd let slip through my hands
                G    C          G
She was like an angel a love so rare
    C                   G         D                   G   
But words just can't describe her, I guess you had to be there


I'm drinkin' to remember I don't want to forget
And it's workin' pretty good so far I ain't lost one mem'ry yet
But I know you can't imagine what my ol' heart's been going through
You couldn't know unless you'd lost her too

Chorus

No words just can't describe her I guess you had to be there
